The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Reset Screen Saver Group Policy - Server 2008

Asked by WideAreaMedia in Windows Networking, Windows Server 2008, Active Directory

Tags: Group Policy, Screen Saver, Windows Server 2008

Hello Everyone,

I have a small network on which various Group Policies are enforced to provide for specific security and functionality settings. One of these settings is that the screen saver should be enabled, and lock the workstation after 30 minutes. This works beautifully on all of our machines, and causes the options in the Screen Saver tab of the Display Settings to be greyed out. I have one machine that I would like to have allowed to change the screen saver options in this tab. I've placed it in its own OU and block policy inheritance, linking only the policies that don't enforce the screen saver settings.

Despite there no longer being an enforced policy regarding screen saver settings for this machine, the settings in the Screen Saver tab remain greyed out. Is there a way to reset the Group Policy settings on this particular Server 2008 machine, or at least re-enable the Screen Saver configuration options? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Best Regards,
Martin Schultz
